3. That are having operations some have waited - and I’m not exaggerating, have waited years for and may actually die before their next appointment because the already longest waiting lists in the history of the National Health Service are being added to unnecessarily.
People are even being advised not to be seen riding a bicycle during the funeral because it is ‘disrespectful’. Councils have cordoned off bicycle racks as a mark of respect with the punishment of a fine and your bicycle removed if you secure it to a bicycle rack.
A holiday park even went as far as saying those staying there would have to leave for the day of the funeral and come back the following day. That’s right, they were going to kick everyone out - mid stay, and have them come back to complete their stays later. They recanted when people went nuts about it.
If you want citations, because the above is ####ing unbelievable, I can provide them.
Yeah, I felt a bit sad when the queen passed - but the sycophancy and the 10 days of this BS has sickened me. I’ve even joined an organisation dedicated to abolishing this circus.
god save the king because I don’t want to go through this crap again any time soon.

And these are all terrible things that are happening, and I am not debating them. I am not even trying to debate whether the day should be a stat or not.
I am saying that the vitriol against people just for wanting to line up and participate is disgusting. I don't care if you have no respect for the Monarchy, the respect I am talking about is for the normal person who wants to spend their time in line to pay respects to someone they believed in.
The last few pages of "this is what a cult looks like" or "this is mental illness" against people who choose to show respect for the Monarchy is what I am calling out.
You don't like them, fine, bitch all you want. Complain about how much coverage there is, I won't say a peep. Bring up these very important points, absolutely.
I haven't seen one post from a pro-Monarchy person saying anything disparaging about those who are against it. But the pile on against people who feel that standing in line for 40 hours to see the coffin for 15 seconds is worth it, that's what I find disgusting.
